Hello! With everything that's been going on in my life recently, I feared that I would miss out on being able to stamp cute little things for Valentine's Day this year, so I stayed home today and made some cards and treat boxes - and it was a wonderful and quiet "me" day to just enjoy stamping! There are so many people at The Solana that I would like to thank for all they do each day, so I made 20 little treat boxes filled with chocolates and candy to give to those special people. I also made a few for my mom, Nan, and Connie - two of my mom's friends there.

I have a die from My Favorite Things - it's a paper bag treat box die - and it came in handy today! It folds in on the side like a paper bag from the grocery store, so it allows room for candy, but it's not so big that you'll break the bank filling it with candy. I used designer paper and stamps from Stampin' Up! I think they turned out really cute!
I also made some Valentine's Day cards for my mom, Haley, and some of my special friends and relatives. I think this card is to die for. I copied it from Angela Maine, but used what I had on hand to mimic her card. I'm totally in love with it. Although I like the pink, I can only imagine how beautiful it would be to use vanilla ribbon and a vanilla flower. It would make a gorgeous wedding card - and I'm going to need one of those in April, so I'll try it out then. The heart is a Sizzix die, the flourish is from Impression Obsession, and the greeting is from Papertrey. Isn't it fabulous?

Since this card is a bit girly-girl for my husband and son, I made another card for them that is a bit more masculine. I used my Papertrey stamps for the card below - and I love it, too! I cased it, of course! This card is perfect for my son since we have always loved drinking coffee together - especially iced coffee! A Starbucks gift card is perfect to place inside the card. I LOVE MY STAMPS AND ALL MY TOYS! I am one happy gal right now! Stamping can make you feel that way!

Okay, here's one more that I just HAD to make because it's so cute! This is a CASE of Maile Belles' card and all of the supplies are from Papertrey. I'll have to save this card for next year to give my husband! I feel better now that I got to do some Valentine's Day stamping - now it's on to St. Patrick's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! May you love and be loved!
